However it is arrived with slightly lower specs, because the 1060maxQ was too big for this thin laptop. The Geforce GTX 1050Ti is the GPU, which is just a minor upgrade from the previous generation. Price is $1399 for the one with 1050ti GPU, without dedicated GPU just $999. See the rest of the configurations at Dell's website.

I cant believe an article is based on a reddit post which is just someone who saw something and remembered some of it. Not doubting it necessarily, just odd sourcing.
Interesting refresh possibilities mentioned; looking like a bigger deal than 9550 to 9560. 6 cores would certainly be a noteworthy upgrade.
Intel 8th generation is a bit of a cluster so this doesn't tell me much about the exact chip possibilities. Anyone know more about specs, or the specific microarchitecture ?
I wonder if there's any chance we'll see a model offered without a dGPU but with the new Intel CPU w/ semi discrete AMD GPU recently announced, as mentioned here (https://www.anandtech.com/show/1200...with-amd-radeon-graphics-with-hbm2-using-emib). Supposedly its an H series chip, and would be a cool option.
Also, the addition of a 2nd USB-C port would be welcome. Wonder if it will be Thunderbolt 3, or just one USB-C and one TB3 as is done on the 9365. Would also be great if they also upped the TB3 to 4 PCIe lanes

EDIT: Also, 5k screen! Isnt that excessive, I mean how close do you need to be to tell the difference with perfect vision? Personally love the 4k, but think its serious overkill on a 15 inch screen

1080ti very unlikely get place in this thin machine, but the above mentioned specs are possible and logical for an upgrade, especially if they improve something on the cooling part.

Lol I see that I didn't peak your sarcasm chart. With the cooling on the 9560 a 1060 max q is not possible. They are going to have to do a lot of work.

It's just funny that this thread basically states some random guy spouting some stuff and people are taking it to the bank.

I realize a 1060 in a thin laptop is possible, it's why I'm probably going to sell my 9560 and pick up an aero 15. It's just not near possible with the current cooling configuration, not to mention the lack of VRM cooling.

In fact this is trivial. Just a little tweak of Intel DPTF needed Max Q in turn seems to be the Nvidia way of stuffing too much specs into machines which lack adequate cooling.

I guess with a reasonable small upgrade of cooling we've seen to be feasible (likely implemented as one more heatpipe and some more fins), it would be perfectly feasible to stuff in the next gen i7 hq and the 1060 Max Q. It is also reasonable to expect to see DPTF rearing its ugly head a few minutes into action the usual XPS way

Dell is reported to be launching a new XPS 15 model, which has been confirmed to include dual NVIDIA GTX 1080 graphics card as an option according to a reputable source. In a posting on the NotebookReview forums, user custom90gt states that the new Dell 9570 will utilize NVIDIA's scalable link interface (sli) to connect the two graphics card and allow superior gaming on the thin and light platform. The posting further establishes that these specs were confirmed when the user saw something somewhere on some site. A source from Dell added more details under the condition of anonymity, stating that to avoid throttling the laptop should only be used in ambient temperatures of absolute zero.
